When one door closes another door opens;

but we so often look so long

and so regretfully upon the closed door,

that we do not see the ones which open for us.

当一道门关闭了的时候，另一道就会打开。

然而我们太多的时候总是遗憾的盯着那道已经关闭了的门，

从而对那道为我们敞开着的门视而不见。

Money may be the husk of many things, but not the kernel.

It brings you food, but not appetite;

medicine, but not health;

acquaintances, but not friends;

servants, but not loyalty;

days of joy, but not peace of happiness.

金钱可以是许多东西的外壳，却不是里面的果实。

它带来食物，却带不来胃口；

带来药，却带不来健康；

带来相识，却带不来友谊；

带来仆人，却带不来他们的忠心；

带来享受，却带不来幸福的宁静。

However mean your life is, meet it and live it;

do not shun it and call it hard names.

It is not so bad as you are.

It looks poorest when you are richest.

The faultfounder will find faults even in paradise.

Love your life, poor as it is.

You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours,

even in a poor-house.

The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse

as brightly as from the rich man's abode;

the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.

不管你的生活如何卑微，你都得面对与度过；

不要逃避，更不要诅咒。

当你贫苦不堪时，生活并不那样糟糕。

而当你富甲天下时，生活显得贫瘠乏味。

就是在天堂，挑剔的人总能挑出缺点。

虽然贫穷，你也该热爱生活，

因为就是在贫济院，你也有自己快乐、幸福与光荣的岁月。

夕阳照在贫瘠院窗上的反光与富人宅第的一样耀目，门前的积雪同在早春溶化。

With close friends in their lives,

people develop courage and positive attitudes.

Teenagers have the moral support to assert their individuality;

the elderly approach their advanced years with optimism

and on interest in life.

生活中有挚友，

人们就能鼓起勇气，变得积极。

年轻人就有精神支柱来表现自己的个性；

中老年人则会怀着乐观主义和生活情趣步入晚年。

Love is not about "It's your fault", but "I'm sorry.

" Not "where are you", but "I'm right here".

Not" how could you",but "I understand".

Not "I wish you were", but "I'm thankful you are".

爱情不是"都怪你"，而是"对不起"。

不是"你在哪儿"，而是"我就在这儿"。

不是"你怎么能"，而是"我理解"。

不是"我愿你能......",而是"感谢你能......"

As long as a man can keep himself in that attitude of mind,

as long as he can look back on every year

and say, "I grew", he is still young.

The minute he ceases to grow, the minute he says to himself,

"I know all that I need to know,"——that day youth stops.

He may be twenty—five or seventy-five, it makes no difference.

On that day he begins to be old.

一个人，只要他能够保持这种心态，

只要他在回首过去的一年是能够说“我在成长”，他就依然年轻。

他一旦停止成长，他一旦对自己说“我该懂的都懂了，”

这个时候他的青春也就完了。

他可能在25岁时死去，也可能在75岁时死去，这都没有区别。

就在那一天，他开始变老。

Many people spend so much of their life energy

"sweating the small stuff"that

they completely lose touch with the magic and beauty of life.

When you commit to working toward this goal

you will have far more energy to be kinder and gentle.

许多人为琐事花费大量精力，

庸人自扰，

以至于他们无法感受到生活的魅力与美好。

当你下决心朝不计较琐事这一方向努力时，

你就会发觉你有更多的精力使自己变得更加温柔可亲。

All of us ought to be able to brace ourselves

for the predictable challenges and setbacks

that crop up every day.

If we expect that life won't be perfect,

we'll be able to avoid that impulse to quit.

But even if you are strong enough to

persist through the obstacle course event

that will completely knock you on your back.

我们每个人都应该做好准备迎接每天的挫折和挑战。

如果我们相信生活并非十全十美，

我们就能避免一时冲动放弃追求。

但即使你意志坚强，能够挺过生活，工作中的困难，

有时你也会遇到逆境，它会在背后给你一击。

With legs to take me where I go,

With eyes to see the sunset's glow,

With ears to hear what I would know...

Forgive me when I whine!

I'm blessed indeed!

This world is beautiful and fine!

我有双腿可四处闯荡，

我有双目可看见夕阳的灿烂，

我有双耳可听见八方，

我还有什么理由叫苦！

我是如此幸运！

这世界是如此美好！

Life isn't fair.It's a bummer,but it's absolutely true.

One of the mistakes many of us make is that

we feel sorry for ourselves, or for others,

thinking that life should be fair,

or that some day it will be.

It's not and it's won't.

生活是不公平的，这着实让人不愉快，但却是实情。

我们许多人犯的一个错误便是

为自己、或是为他人感到遗憾，

认为生活应该是公平的。

其实不然，现在不是，将来也不是。
